Lace fingerless mitts inspired by the song “At Last”, recorded in 1961 by Etta James…

At Last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
And I found a dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah, and you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last
- Glenn Miller 1941

(Imagine singing about your much longed for true love… now imagine singing about your most adored skein of yarn… still works doesn’t it? … “I found a thrill to press my cheek to… For you are mine at last”. I love you Etta!)
